Higher-than-expected electricity demand, the loss of generation units and extensive planned maintenance have placed strain on the electricity system, prompting Eskom to implement Stage 2 loadshedding from 16:00 today until 05:00 tomorrow.

"Eskom sincerely apologises for the inconvenience and will continue to provide updates as necessary," the utility states.
